Or do we blame [drug addicts] for having chosen a life that nobody would ever choose?
Uhm, yes? When I see teenagers in front of my window, trading stolen goods from a nearby supermarket for some dried grass, I do think they have some responsibility for what happens. Am I the asshole?
To be clear, I am not one of the ones who walk away from Omelas. I think those people are naive and suicidal.
I am one of the ones who builds a nonliving effigy in my basement, finds a way to prove it works just as well as a real suffering small child, then releases my results publicly, at first anonymously.
